Love and Marriage Contract
Clara's Threat

For a moment Arga was silent staring at Karina who was fast asleep with her blanket exposed. There was a dirty thought in Arga's head when he saw it, especially when he thought that there was nothing else he could do to get Karina.

But Arga immediately realized from his bad thoughts, Arga immediately pulled the blanket and covered Karina's entire body with a blanket.

Arga then took her steps towards the bathroom, washing her face in the sink a few times to get the dirty thoughts completely out of her head.

"Conscious Arga, what you think is not the right thing" said Arga, staring intently at the reflection in the mirror before him.

After feeling better, Argapun came out of the bathroom and immediately dropped himself on the sofa.

Arga closed his eyes even though he could not sleep that night. Arga occasionally brings his eyes to Karina. I don't know why her heart always misses Karina.

The girl who was his first love really drove him crazy. I don't know how many times he heard bad things about Karina, but it never occurred in his head to stay away from Karina, instead his love is still neatly stored in his heart.

Until finally the long night had passed. Arga immediately got up from her seat when she saw Karina waking up from her sleep.

"You awake?" asked Arga who only answered a nod of the head by Karina.

Arga smiled and took his steps to sit on the edge of the bed.

"How are you doing? is anyone sick?" ask Arga.

Karina just shook her head and moved from her sleep.

"Thank you for seeing me Arga, thank you for still caring about me" Karina said.

"As I've said before, you can call me whenever you need me Karina" Arga replied.

"Maybe what I did is wrong, considering you are a married man, but I have no other choice Arga, I'm sorry," Karina said, lowering her head.

"There's no need to apologize Karina, I can understand you, but may I ask you one thing?" asked Arga while holding Karina's chin, carrying Karina's gaze staring at her.

"After everything Bian did to you, are you going to stick with him?" asked Arga by looking into Karina's eyes.

"I love Bian, Arga" Karina said, taking her eyes off Arga.

"After everything he's done to you?" ask Arga.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about Bian, Arga," Karina said.

"Despite his sometimes rude attitude towards me, he loves me a lot and I love him too" Karina continued.

"How can you call him loving you after all this bad stuff Karina? you're....."

"Arga stop, I did ask you to come help me, but that doesn't mean I want our relationship to go back to how it used to be, I still love Bian and I will never leave him, what else for the sake of a man who only attaches importance to his career and his own good name like you," said Karina cut off Arga's speech.

Karina then got up from her seat and went into the bathroom, leaving Arga who could only sigh long at Karina's words.

Soon Karina comes out of the bathroom and asks Arga to leave.

"What about you?" ask Arga.

"Bian will pick me up, lest he find out if I spend the night here with you, so please leave" Karina replied.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" ask Arga to worry.

Karina just nodded her head without hesitation, making Arga forced to leave Karina in that hotel room.

Arga, who had wanted to wait for Bian to arrive, immediately abandoned his intentions when he realized he had to leave for the office.

Arga then drove his car towards the office with his appearance that was not so neat.

Luckily, in his car there was still a suit he wore last night at dinner with Bianca.

Arriving at the office, Arga immediately brought her skeleton towards her room. As he had seen before, many eyes were staring at him strangely ever since he entered the main door.

Arga does not care, the most important thing is that he can still get to the office on time. Arga then immediately went to the toilet, washed his face and tidied his hair accordingly.

At least, his handsome face could fade the chaos of his appearance back then.

Arga then returned to his room and there was Daffa sitting in his room.

"What's wrong with you? why do you look so messy?" asked Daffa who was surprised to see Arga's appearance.

Arga did not answer Daffa's questions, he took himself to sit down and turned on the computer in front of him.

"Don't you because of dinner last night? is it possible that you and Bianca stayed at the hotel for....."

"Get your filthy mind, it's still morning!" arga said cutting off Daffa's speech.

"Hahaha how was dinner last night? very romantic, isn't it?" ask Daffa.

"You're too much Daffa, you made my dinner with Bianca awkward" replied Arga.

"The two of you will not feel awkward if there is nothing between you," said Daffa who made Arga immediately bring his eyes to Daffa.

"Stop being pretentious, Bianca and I have no relationship whatsoever, and our relationship will end after 2 years of our marriage" Arga said.

"Did dinner last night not work for you at all?" ask Daffa.

"That was indeed the first dinner that felt strange to me, everything you prepared felt really excessive and I didn't like it" Arga replied.

"It's up to you to like it or not but you definitely have to replace the money I've spent to buy that fancy necklace you gave Bianca" Daffa said.

"Don't worry I'll change everything today as well" Arga replied.

"Well I'll send you the data, don't be surprised by the price of the fancy diamond necklace" Daffa said, then moved from his seat.

"Aaahh yes one more, although dinner has made you and Bianca feel awkward but I'm sure dinner yesterday was a memorable dinner for you and Bianca, whether you two realize it or not," daffa continued with a smile and walked out of Arga's room.

"Impressed?" tanya Arga repeated the Daffa sentence.

For a while Arga's memory revisited his dinner with Bianca. Romantic dinner with full preparation is indeed the first thing for Arga.

Although he had been in contact with Karina for a long time but he had never treated Karina like that and for her it was too much.

**

Time passed, Arga was still busy in front of his computer even though the lunch hour had passed.

"Are you not going to lunch?" daffa asked after he brought his head into Arga's room.

"You go first," Arga replied with a focus on the computer in front of him.

"OK," said Daffa and left Arga for lunch in the cafeteria.

Shortly after Daffa left, someone opened the door to Arga's room.

"What else is it?" asked Arga who was still staring at the computer screen in front of him.

"There's me who will always be expecting you" Clara replied as she carried her step towards Arga's desk.

"Clara, why are you here?" asked Arga who was surprised by Clara's arrival, because he thought that the one who opened the door of his room was Daffa.

"I'm not here to make a fuss, I just want to make a deal with you" Clara replied and sat down before Arga.

"I don't have time to play around with you, I'm really very busy right now so go before me...."

"You won't be able to kick me out as long as I have this photo" Clara cut off Arga's words while exposing Arga's phone screen.

Arga is shocked when he sees Clara's phone screen, where there is a photo of her with Karina in the hotel lobby.

Arga quickly attempts to snatch Clara's phone, but the faster Clara puts her phone back in her bag.

"Either what will happen to your marriage if Bianca finds out what you're doing behind her, she said, not only that aunt Nadine will also be very surprised to see this photo or it could be Om David will get you out of this company!" clara said with a triumphant smile.

"Do you think you can threaten me with that photo?" asked Arga who seemed undaunted by Clara's threat.

"Whatever how you're gonna behave to me now, Arga, but you certainly don't know what's gonna happen to you if this photo gets shared, maybe you can control the media but you won't be able to control me not to tell your wife and family!"

Arga let out a long sigh by closing his eyes then shifting his sitting position and focusing with Clara who was in front of him.

It was undeniable that the photo Clara had actually made her quite uneasy and worried.

"What do you really want from me? I can't possibly divorce Bianca just to marry you" Arga asked Clara.

"I really want you Arga but for now that's not what I want, I'll save that desire for next time because now I still want to play around with you" replied Clara.

"Tell me Clara, what do you want?" asked Arga in annoyance.

"Mmmmm... as the beginning of this game I just want to have dinner with you, tonight," Clara replied by emphasizing the word "tonight".

"I'm busy Clara, I...."

"You must not reject me Arga, as long as I have proof of your affair with Karina you must comply with all my requests or your life will be completely over" Clara said, cutting off Arga's remarks.

Arga let out a rough sigh then nodded his head slowly. He has no choice but to comply with Clara's request, at least only temporarily until he can remove a photo of himself with Karina on Clara's phone.

"All right I assume we've agreed, I'll send you our dinner location after I make a reservation," said Clara then got up from her seat and walked out of Arga's room.

Arga breathed rough, leaning his back against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and massaged his dizzy head.

"I have to take away the photo, I'm not going to let Clara control me" Arga said.

Time passed, and the clock showed at 06:00 p.m., when Arga had just walked out of his room.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Arga's phone rang, a message coming in from Clara, a message indicating where Clara's location would take her to dinner.

Under the paint room with the name Clara there is the name Bianca which makes Arga suddenly thought of Bianca.

"He didn't call me at all, he didn't send me any messages either, it's certain that he was very angry with me" Arga said with a long sigh.

"Why does young Lord Arga look so lethargic today?" asked Daffa who suddenly came by draping his hand on Arga's shoulder.

"Are you busy tonight?" reply Arga asked.

"I'm never busy if you don't give me a job, don't you know what always keeps me busy is you!" reply Daffa.

"Then get ready to go later tonight, if necessary invite Lola to come along," Arga said.

"Where to?" asked Daffa with a frown.

"I'll send you the location later, you just need to get ready and come before 8, right away" Arga said without answering Daffa's questions and then walked away from Daffa, who was still thinking about Arga's words.

Arga then drove his car towards his home. Arriving at home he immediately looked for Bianca who was working on her article on the balcony.

"Prepare soon we'll be out!" said Arga who was standing near Bianca.

"I don't want to go out" replied Bianca who was still focused on the laptop in front of her.

"Don't you have to do your part well?" asked Arga who made Bianca sigh and then closed her laptop, moved from her seat and immediately walked away past Arga just like that.

"Yes, he looks very angry" Arga said, staring at Bianca who was walking away from him.

Arga then walked towards his room as well as Bianca who walked into his room.

That day Bianca did deliberately want to stay away from Arga, she did not want to know where Arga went and when Arga would come home from the office.

Bianca wants to be herself who never cared for Arga, she has even established herself to ignore Arga no matter what happens to Arga.

He always reminded himself if he was just a wife on a contract. He and Arga are just two strangers who contract each other over their marriage.

So in accordance with the agreement he had made with Arga, he only needed to be a good wife in front of others, not at home or in front of Arga.

But even though he was upset with Arga, he still had to do his part well, because if he has started playing the role it means he will appear before others who make him have to be the best wife Arga has.

"I'm doing this just because I'm under contract with him, I'm doing this because of the 50 billion dollars I've received, nothing more than that," bianca said to herself as she stared at the reflection of her face on the mirror before her.
